SPRING CHURCH -- Apollo-Ridge Elementary School is very lucky to have four junior block education students from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. All are very helpful and eager to earn their teaching degrees.

Jade Kline is a junior block student in Kelly Ziencik's third-grade classroom. She is from Carrolltown and her major is early childhood/special education. She says she has had a good time working with Mrs. Ziencik.

Her favorite part about A-R Elementary is working with the friendly students and staff.

We have another IUP student in third grade. Her name is Jenna Loughlin and she is from Philadelphia. Loughlin is also an early childhood/special education major. Lori Murphy is her cooperating teacher.

Her favorite things about Apollo-Ridge are the friendly students and staff, and also our neatly decorated hallways.

Breanne Denning is a junior block student in Cindy Kulick's fourth-grade classroom. She is from Marion Center. Her major is middle level education with a concentration in mathematics. Denning's favorite thing about our school is the small community and friendly students and staff. She is very kind and eager to learn.

In fifth grade, we have Morgan Hess. She is in Chad Danka's fifth-grade classroom. Hess is a middle level education with a concentration in mathematics major from Lewistown. She also says the friendly students and staff are her favorite part of our school.

We appreciate everything these future teachers have done for us. We hope they all get their degrees and that they have had a wonderful time at Apollo-Ridge Elementary School.
